I'm reading all the topics for the Beta Discussion, and all I can hear is Monse whining of their being empty servers.
Let ME be a playtester. Obviously, there is room for more. I really want to do a gorge rush before they're ineviabltied nerfed.
Ah well, I can dream...

1, 2, 3... Topic still not locked. Weird.
Thank you for reading official NS news. Have a nice day.
I am not singling out any single person, and if you are someone who plays alot, ignore this post. But it is getting very irritating to have dozens of posts in the forums asking about when NS 1.1 is going to come out, or what's taking so long balancing it. The lack of participation is killing the development process.
jk.

i didn't want to post on this thread, cuz i'm not gonna annoy anyone about PTing, but i don't think that's right... the people that are PTing <b><i>SHOULD</i></b> be playing more than the norms. 1.1 should be happening more often for them than 1.04 for us.
School is not out, at least not over here. Most British people are right in the middle of University, College, or school exams. And because of the university I chose, all online gaming is impossible.
Of course, in 3 weeks time... <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
[...] I know there are other commitments out there, but the dev team is made up of people with full time jobs and families, and we find time to play pretty often, not to mention work on the development process itself for the past 2 years, when I couldn't get a million CS/TFC/DOD fans to notice NS if I paid them.

Well, you say that MonsE, but Flayra sems to be spitting out builds like a fat gorge puking up babblers. We've seen him produce little 1.1h/k, 1.1n and 1.1m in no time flat. The guys must be doing <i>something</i> right, empty servers or no.
(P.S. I accept that I can only speak as a guy watching from the sidelines, but from what I <i>can</i> see, you seem a bit overly pessimistic.)
(P.P.S. The title of this thread sounds like a NS sitcom. I guess wacky Kharaa-based hijinx was too much to hope for, though.)
Fam - sorry, I was speaking in terms of US schools. I really have little way of knowing the school schedules of 180+ nations around the world. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Snidely - actually, Flayra kicks out these builds whether or not there are a lot of testers playing. He waits for a server to actually have some players (like last night), then makes dozens of tweaks and updates while he can during those few hours. He then vanishes under a rock again for a week in his mad scientists lab working on the code in a big-picture way. I would consider myself overly pessimistic if I hadn't experienced NS testing before any vets, many PT's, and most forum goers ever joined. The original PT sessions were a madhouse of constantly full servers and people yelling at me to get more servers as too many testers couldn't play due to full slots. So, I'm spoiled.
I haven't had enough coffee yet - where's the irony?
OMG.. get normal playtesters, hello, were here, just let us play.
I mean, im mapper (no funmapper) and im here... since a looong time ( i was even here in the old forum) i play NS since 2 hours before the release.... i can asure you i will play as much as i can (and this should be around 4 hours a day, weekends around 8-10 hours) and you can be shure im a serious playtester.. but well.. i dont think you will listen to me, but it was worth a try

why are the servers empty when so many people are testing 1.1? Maybe they are just testing it on a lan or something, <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
by the way this wasnt a "OMG PICK ME TO BE PT" thread, so just stop it now <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Playtesting is hard work, there are some great moments and lots of fun stuff, but serious pt:ing is just registering bugs and fixes and reporting them in beta forums before going back playing. Seems like currently pts and especially vets are tired with all that.
I've playtested three games and it's....not....glorious.
Then again, I've only ever playtested for one (small) game, so I'm probably just misguided. (;

Ahh, like US SAT's and ACT's and such, I reckon. Fair enough. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
And no, they are not testing on a LAN. The 4 NS servers are all that there are. Playtesters/Vets have no ability to run a server, even a listenserver on their own PC. We have h4d d3v h4x.
And yes, PTing can be fun, despite what people say. Some of the best social times I've ever had were when we were playtesting prior to 1.0 release. When moleculor wasn't on the server <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> .
do you remember 1.0 ? (i mean the realy first one, in the 1-2 first weeks) i remember that i lost more than 10 games in a row.... but it was funny, at least more than as a marine, because it was to easy.. i always cherche the chalenge

I said there are several good moments but it gets old quickly. Or how else you explain those empty beta servers? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
SARS?
I just like the way the game [I PTed] got sculpted, like a raw lump of clay was formed into a beautiful vase. But then again, I'm a freak.
Don't make me give you my theory, it's not very nice.
Grendel has informed me that he has big plans under way for PT. So everyone sit quietly and give it some time; he's pretty trustworthy and bright, for a limey.
/me shakes fist at Britain and flings more tea into the harbor.
